I can't help you with your dilema, however, maybe you can explain your particular setup and perhaps a picture if that's your thing. What type of light cycle are you on? My reading would indicate that you can have autos on 12/12, 18/6/, 24/0 or whatever else you might think of, hence auto(automatic!). Hope you discover the problem.

I know its a pain but can you shorten the light on her to induce her to start? Perhaps and i know shit about them, you got a more photo pheno? I do know from research that auto's will suffer at 12/12 so try to keep the others going full out.

Autos do not have a normal photoperiod response. The respond to the amount of light - Photon *Hours received. A true autoflower will just grow slower at 12/12. I believe the 18/6 veg style cycle is optimum and come from the school were plants need a tiny bit of sleep. In theory, a 12/12 will go into flower much slower than an 18/6 light cycle.

This is quite common info the prob is I dont think 1 is a true auto or it should have buds by now

My very first "auto" was a kanabia mataro blue. It was marketed as an auto but needed 12-14 hrs to flower. I believe they still sell it lol. I waited and waited lol. Finally contacted Pato (owner) and found out the auto gene was recessive. Good luck, but ya that sounds like a plan!

hey there..do not put your autos on 12/12 light shcedule..your yeil will be crap mate.20/4 is the best for them...2 gallon pots is all you need to get the best out of autos..if you can give just that 1 12 hours till its flowering properly and put it back in with the other 3 it should flower away on 20/4...personally i would bin it and focus on the other 3,,happy growing
